Hi
I'd like to know how do native people prefer to write non-English names with respect to phonetic patterns.
For example my family name is /ˈmæhpeɪkær/ how do you write it or spell it?
Also, using text-to-speech engines didn't give a solid answer for this. (I don't know how these programs coded to choose the proper sound for an arbitrary word, they have to use some patterns). The parallel question is what are those patterns, maybe they can be used for writing non-English words or names properly?
